EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Beijing, China, likely during the 1920s, transports us back in time to an era of Victorian and Edwardian charm. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a serene street scene illuminated by the warm glow of traditional Chinese lanterns. The photograph captures the unique blend of Eastern and Western influences that characterized Beijing during this period. In the foreground, we see a group of Chinese men and women dressed in traditional garb, while in the background, a European-style building with tall, arched windows stands proudly. The image also reveals the rich textures and colors of Beijing's urban landscape. The cobblestone streets, worn by the passage of time, are lined with intricately designed buildings, each with their own distinct character. The vibrant reds, yellows, and blues of the lanterns add a pop of color to the otherwise muted tones of the scene. Despite the passage of time, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of Beijing during the 1920s. It is a reminder of the city's rich history and its ability to adapt and evolve, while preserving its cultural heritage.
